gfo

in search of a few reactors for GFO carbon and one to convert to a algae reactor. Let me know. Have paypal!

@AVAST Marine I started using the spyglass a few weeks ago. I have the small size in the return section of my RSR 250. I had to plane off a bit of acrylic on the base to make it fit but did not interrupt the integrity of the chamber. I have mixed the prescribed amount of ROX carbon and GFO...

I have narrowed it down to the Reef Octopus BR-70 Bio Pellet reactor for my 120 Mixed Reef tank. For my pump, I think I am going Sicce Syncra Silent 1.5 Pump (357 GPH) I have a question, I am already ready running the Dual reactor from BRS WITH High Capacity GFO on the other side I run BRS ROX...

I'm currently battling what I thought was Dinoflagellates. @mcarroll has ID this for me as Chrysophytes. Here is a background on my tank and where I am now. My tank build thread https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/4-years-old-and-just-getting-started.302988/ Total water volume 160 gal. I...

I've faced this before and quite honestly didn't exactly pin down the problem. Basically I am getting a brown diatom on my sandbed and it's actually becoming somewhat solid in places. Alk=8.0, Cal=420, and Mag=usually at 1350. I don't overfeed (feed the fish not the tank) but I do feed corals...

I would like to seek help in finding the best method to remove excessive PO4 or to expedite the leeching process. I'm scared my acros will die or fear my anemones will suffer and possibly die. Any help would be appreciated. :( I'm not sure how long this process will take since it's man-made...

This is a place to showcase and discuss your experience with the Ultra Reef fluidized reactor. Background: as many of you know, Unique is the first in the US to offer the newly designed Ultra Reef UFF003 fluidized media reactor. Designed and made in Italy, this unit features a single PVC input...

I am out of room in my Fluval Evo 13.5 - I currently stick my GFO bag in the compartment with pump since that gets most flow probably. So I am looking at all the turbulence in the middle of the stock skimmer & wondered---"hey what if I stuck the bag there?!" Definitely more water movement! Has...

Hello, This is my first post so please forgive me if I "mess something up": I have a 175 gallon (+20 gallon refugium) mixed reef tank (LPS, softies, fish). Below are my current tank parameters Alkalinity - >14dKH (Red Sea Test Kit) pH - Fluctuates between 8.0-8.1 (lower at night; American...

Whoops,I mean high capacity not high output...lol Would like to get some of your thoughts on which media do you like running better in your media reactor? I have used both and i think that I get better results using the GFO High Capacity vs the Rowaphos.. I know every situation is different but...

I'm looking into starting up a reactor with bio pellets for the first time and I would like to know if anybody is still running a phosphate removal media with the use of bio pellets. My phosphates are at around .07 running rowaphos. Would I be starving the bacteria in the bio pellets if I would...
